Hey, it's your girl, Selina Davis host of Butt naked wisdom coming to you with an episode and today we're going to talk about how do we handle change, change can be difficult. Change can actually bring on stress because you are changing different things in your life, which can then record straight into you not knowing what's going to happen, and not able to, you know, cope with that change, I really want to just touch on about four to five, or even six points, laughing that we can really focus on in terms of how we are handling change. And the first thing I want to talk about is, have the right attitude, have the right attitude towards that change can be monumental, it can really change how you see that change, it can change the perspective on that change. And it can really make the change not as hard as it needs to be not saying it's not going to be difficult, but having the right attitude towards the change and the change could be changed a job, it could be that you've had to lose your job, it could be a relationship change, it could be financial changes, it could be changing your mindset, it could be a loss of a relative or someone very close to you, whatever that change is really set your mind on seeing how you can have the right attitude towards it. And remember, this is your life. So however you want your life to continue from that change, moving forward is really how you want to set the tone of it. And I think it really starts from our attitudes, I say the first thing would be definitely have the right attitude. Be patient is number two, I would say Be patient in that change thing don't happen. You know, while our magic, you know, Alakazam we want things, especially in this day and age that we're living right now we want change to happen instantly, it's not going to happen instantly, unfortunately, for a lot of things, and it's going to be a process, it's going to require us to be patient in that process. So really looking at how you can really curve you're being anxious or feeling as if things are not moving as quickly as you would perceive them to be moving. So looking at ways to make it make sure that you are being patient in the process of the change. Communication is also very important. How are we communicating even within that change? Are we you know, expressing how we're feeling? are we speaking to the right people? Are you bringing in on positive engagement rather than negative ones? What are you doing in the in the vein of communication and communicating how you're feeling and your emotions during the period of time of change. So I would say communication is definitely number three. Again, this is probably the same as having a great attitude is being positive. And just I would say not even being positive, I would say keep the positive things that you have already going on in your life consistent, don't change everything at once. Keep what could be an is a positive influence in your life right now and keep that consistent, whether it's that you're going to the gym or eating healthy or you know, you have groups that you go to or you engage with a network of people, if it's to do with work, whatever it may be, just keep that positive engagement consistent within your life so that when you are making changes that may be affecting you in other ways, that is not changing that also. So be consistent with positive things that are happening in your life, definitely seek support, you know, we tend to hold things in and not communicate how we are feeling. But sometimes we need to lean on to other people. So really look at ways that you can speak to other people about how you're feeling if it's a therapist, or a mentor or a coach or a close friend or a family member, whoever it may be, don't be afraid to communicate and seek support. And the other one is be proactive. Change doesn't instantly just happen. We have to make steps to enforce the change, we have to make steps in order to change the mindset that we may have toward what was and now is something totally different. So we're looking at ways that we can be proactive in the momentum of the change, be a positive on your life or deemed as a negative on your life. Be aware of the fact that you need to be active in in the moment of that change and being very proactive. So I want to just go back on all the tops, all the tips that we went through today. have the right attitude. Be patient, communicate, keep positive things consistent in your life, seek support, and get proactive. So I'm going to say that again, have the right attitude. Be patient, communicate key positive things consistent, seek support and get proactive. So I hope that this has helped you I think it's really important that we understand how to handle change. And it will be different for everybody you know, so ensure that when you are going through that change, you are analyzing yourself based on where you are at, and how you handle change for your life.
